A New Combination of Blood Test and Fibroscan for Accurate Non-Invasive Diagnosis of Liver Fibrosis Stages in Chronic Hepatitis C

Abstract

The association of new fibrosis indexes combining FibroMeter and Fibroscan provides a new fibrosis stage classification. This classification is significantly more accurate than Fibrotest, FibroMeter, or Fibroscan classifications, and improves the accuracy of the non-invasive diagnosis of liver fibrosis stages to 86% without any liver biopsy.
